Description Stefan Hundhammer 2007-09-07 12:08:58 UTC

See also bug #308231, in particular bug #308231 comment #5

The YaST2 Gtk UI reports "HasAnimationSupport: true" as a UI capability in UI::GetDisplayInfo(). Yet it only supports animated GIF, not MNG which is the format of choice there (and which also creates a lot less hassle - as happened in bug #308231).

It should either support MNG, too or not report to applications to have animation support. The animation UI examples (which is as close to a formal spec as we have there) don't work with the Gtk UI.

The preferred approach is to add MNG support to the Gtk UI.


Note: This is for post-10.3.

Added support for MNG animations.

It's not the full spec, but it has worked with all MNG movies I tested, including Jakub's from bug #308231 and ticks-loop3.mng shipped by yast in 10.3.

The also shipped ticks-endless.mng has a very low frame-per-second count. ImageMagick however animates it at a reasonable speed. Don't know what that could be; I will assume the image is broken and that some default is being used.
